AHS offers Honors classes, AP classes, and college courses on campus. More than half of the upperclassmen take the ACT and their scores consistently rank above the Iowa and national averages.
The majority of Assumption students come from Catholic feeder schools, such as St. Paul's, John F. Kennedy, Lourdes, & All Saints.
Faculty and staff
AHS’s faculty is made up of lay teachers. Many hold master’s degrees in education or content areas and meet the criteria for the Iowa teaching standards.
Student life and activities
AHS provides activities beyond the classroom. More than two-thirds of the student body participates in at least one sport, and many people join clubs as well.
Athletics
AHS has 52 athletic teams competing in thirteen sports. The Knights belong to the Mississippi Athletic Conference and compete against other private and public schools. Students at varying levels of skill participate on Varsity, Junior Varsity, Sophomore, or Freshman teams.
